Wigan- In the premiership

[Goring Gull]

Although early days, I can actually see Wigan making the top flight, Good manager bit of money behind them, nice stadium. Would be intresting if they made it, but the big question would they ever manage to fill that stadium?

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Probably - they're just a hop away from all those big teams! Would be full of Man U and Liverpool fans though - Wigan will still only have their six or seven thousand fans.

 

[Beefy]

They will fill the stadium,but only for rugby matches.

 

[albiongirl]

Their town is slowy becoming more football dominated as Rugby is the number one sport.

 

[Sam]

i can see it happening, but as cheshire CHISLA said, it will be full of united and liverpool (and a few everton) fans!

 

[BrightonBird]

Wigan won't go up. Only been a couple of games so far anyway.

I predicted Reading. Now not sure as the manager situation.

My prediction is Sheff United, West Brom and Notts Forest

 

[Gary Nelson]

I would actually like to see Wigan go up, smaller club, got a nice ground. Suprised though as Iv never rated Paul Jewel. Good news for Wigan is they have already beaten West Brom

 

[SK1NT]

good on wigan! i like to see the smaller clubs doing well! if only last season we did would wigan are doing!

 

[Safeway]

Bollocks, they only got 9000 on Saturday. 9000!!. Scum, hope they go bust.

 

[Icy Gull]

Would be good to see Wigan get into the Premiership, but they'd never be able to compete and would come straight back down, unless their owner is willing to throw another 50million at the team.

Owner then loses interest (as well as the millions he's put in) and down the league they slide.

Sad but true

 

[CAFC Matt]

Hope they do get promoted - easy 6 points for us

 

[Mr Popkins]

i was surprised to learn that they have only been a professional football club for 25 years,

 

[DTES]

Not a chance in hell Wigan will get promoted. Far too early. It's like saying Port Vale will win our division, and come on - that's never going to happen

 

[Pavilionaire]

Wigan seem capable of mounting as good a challenge as anyone else in Div 1 right now. They've got a good manager, a settled squad, financially sound and they're in good form.

However, there is no way they deserve a spot in the Premiership when the locals can't even be bothered to turn up.

The division is weak, and what with developments at Reading and West Ham I expect them to be contenders for the rest of the season.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Wigan have a good team and I would like to see them make it but realistically I can see them finishing just above mid table.

Also, I only made six of the last seven games at the Goldstone, so I can’t say how many teams did this but I still remember the Wigan fans when they came to the Goldstone giving vocal support to our campaign against Archer and Bellotti.

 

[CAFC Matt]

i was surprised to learn that they have only been a professional football club for 25 years,

That is quite surprsing

[berkshire seagull]

Reckon they will do well as there is still very few clubs in div 1 with money to splash,so playoffs for sure.

9k against westbrom is very poor and no doubt the baggys had 2-3k.

 

[Jameson]

I hope they get relegated to the Jewson Northern League division 2
